Programmed for Failure… But God

Esther has the kind of story they make movies about. Her mother was an alcoholic, her father, a two-time murderer. All odds were against her ever becoming a successful, well-rounded woman. But…God intervened in her life. Today, Esther, is an international gospel music singer, teacher, and speaker.
Her sincere desire is to inspire others to live a life free from the constraints of the past. Her testimony is this: “It does not matter what background you emerged from. Regardless of what your parents did or failed to do, you do not have to end up a failure in life.”
“Few believers equal her dedication to and love for God. She is an inspired gospel soloist as well as a noted preacher.” –The late Pastor Charles O. Miles, International Gospel Center
“This book will help anyone dealing with the devastation that inevitably follows growing up in a dysfunctional family to find the courage to break generational curses.” –Bishop R. Donnie Graves
